At the end of March, Lu Ning and Dian Wei brought five hundred "Night Eyes" to Xiangping City in Liaodong. Tian Chou, Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci, Xu Huang, Gao Lan, Yan Rou and others went to the city gate to welcome Lu Ning. After seeing the ceremony, Lu Ning and everyone entered the official residence of the government office. Lu Ning said to them: "How are you preparing? How is the situation in Maruntu?"

Tian Chou smiled and said, "Lord, there are only more than 20,000 soldiers in Marudu, and other tribes are distributed everywhere. Only their king Yiyimo and more than 60,000 people live in the city. Although their army is also an iron cavalry, their equipment is far worse than our army. As long as we attack Marudu first and behead the king Yiyimo, it will be much easier for other scattered small tribes."

Taishici also said: "Brother, according to the report of our scouts, it is said that it is the king of Marudu, Yi Yimo, who has just taken over for about two years. However, the former king Bogu has been robbing for more than ten years, and through continuous robbery, there are some gold, silver, jewelry and other things in the city. Now our army has made a lot of money."

After hearing this, Lu Ning still felt that something was wrong. Goguryeo has a population of 200,000 to 300,000, and there is only such a small population in the city. Where is that large population? "You said there are only about 60,000 people in the city, so the other two or more than 300,000 people have gone there. They are all ethnic groups on horseback. More than 200,000 people can also organize nearly 200,000 cavalry! Is your information accurate? Where are the other populations distributed? Have you all figured it out?"

Taishi Ci was stunned after hearing this, and then said, "Brother, there is indeed only about 60,000 people in the city, but there are more than ten tribes within nearly 200 kilometers around Marudu, with a population of nearly 200,000. We have figured out the residences of each tribe. However, if our army cannot break Marudu in a very short time, there will be nearly 150,000 iron cavalry and generals coming to support him. This is also one of the reasons why Marudu has few soldiers. Of course, there is another reason that if Marudu has many soldiers, they can't afford to support them."

Tian Chou also said: "Lord, the biggest difficulty in attacking Marudu now is whether our army can break through the city within one hour, otherwise there will be really trouble."

Lu Ning thought, if this is the case, then there will be no big problem. Didn’t Lu Ning bring some black gunpowder this time? "It’s not difficult to break through the city. It only takes half a time to fill the incense to solve the problem. But you must figure out the situation around Maple Du, and you must not make any mistakes."

This surprised them. How could this be possible? Although the Wandu is not as good as Yecheng, it is also a city after all, and it is also a medium-sized city. "Brother, what method can you use to break through the city in the Wandu? This is a bit difficult. If there are no special means, it is basically unrealistic." Zhao Yun said without much confidence.

After hearing this, Taishi Ci also felt that it was indeed a bit difficult to break the city of Marudu by half the cuckoo. He glanced at Lu Ning and said, "Brother, what method do you have to break the city in such a short time? There can't be any mistakes, otherwise our army will have big trouble."

Lu Ning laughed and said mysteriously: "You should be assured about breaking the city. Then the barracks of the other tribes will not live in the city, right? What are you planning to attack?"

Tian Chou smiled slightly after hearing this. It seemed that Ma Jun had created another secret weapon, otherwise how could he be so confident. "My lord, we originally had a second plan. The first choice is to use the thunderous force to carry out a sneak attack on the lightning, capture Matsudo in one fell swoop, and then clear the surrounding tribes from four directions without stopping. In this way, the speed will be very fast. If you can't break Matsudo for a while, then we want to start from the surroundings, gradually eliminate Yiyimo's forces, and finally attack Matsudo. The progress of this plan will be slower, but it is relatively stable. The result of the implementation of the next plan will bring trouble to the next step of eliminating Yiluo and Fuyu. They will be vigilant and even escape, which is not a good thing for our army."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "If you want to attack Maruto, you have to cross the river. What are you going to do? You won't want to build a bridge temporarily, but you still have some tricks."

Xu Huang said: "Lord, this is not a big problem. We have chosen several places to cross the river. As long as we let a small number of vanguard soldiers dispatch half a day in advance, we can build a temporary floating bridge in a short time to ensure the passage of our army."

Lu Ning shook his head and said, "Our army has 70,000 or 80,000 troops and more than 200,000 war horses. If we pass through the floating bridge, the speed will be very slow and we can't make the secret marching. My opinion is to solve the enemy tribes along the way, and it is best not to let them escape. If we achieve complete annihilation, then our army's combat plan will work, otherwise how can we hide it?"

Tian Chou looked at the map, thought for a while and said, "Then our army was divided into two armies to attack, and we went all the way to Tonghuan, or use lightning tactics to quickly eliminate the enemies along the way."

Lu Ning smiled with a thief smile and said, "I heard that the women in Marudu City have white skin, tall, big breasts and round buttocks. That is the kind of beauty that you rarely see in the Central Plains. I want to choose a part of it and take it to Jinyang City for auction. It will definitely be sold for a good price. Then you and your soldiers will make a lot of money. At the same time, after all the tribes under Yiyi Mo were eliminated, each soldier will allocate a beauty according to his military merits, and carry out great national integration, so that the soldiers can make their stomachs bigger as soon as possible. Those who are made big belly will be distributed to houses and fields, so that they can quickly get pregnant with children with my great Han blood."

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Brother, if this news is conveyed to the soldiers, I don't know what the soldiers will become when fighting. I guess they are like a group of tigers going down the mountain."

Lu Ning said to them: "You have brought scouts to personally reconnaissance the situation these days, and figure out all the situations, especially the geographical landscape, the width of the river surface, and how deep the river water are, you must make it very clear. There is no mistake. We will go to the battle ten days later."

Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Xu Huang, Gao Lan, and Yan Rou said in unison: "It's the lord (big brother)."

Ten days later, all the situations were cleared. Lu Ning issued an order, leaving five thousand storm troops to station in Xiangping City; let Xu Huang and Yan Rou lead 15,000 storm troops to station Lelang, lead the side to clear Lelang, lead the side to attack the three Hans, and at the same time, he launched a conquest against Feng and Woju, cutting off the three Hans' road to the north; Zhao Yun, Gao Lan and Tian Choo led 30,000 troops, one man and three cavalry from Tonghua to kill all the way to Maru Capital; Lu Ning and Taishi Ci, Dian Wei led 40,000 troops to Huan Ren and advance towards Maru Capital.
